Abstract

The guidelines of the Continua Health Alliance (CHA) aim at establishing interoperability based on existing standards and inoperability profiles in order to guarantee plug & play for AAL and Telemonitoring systems. This paper presents the recommendations and the experiences resulting from a prototype implementation, covering the full path from a sensor system to an electronic health record. Since a guideline for the WAN-Interface is not yet available, an appropriate IHE profile has been used. Overall the interoperability could be demonstrated, even though for the practical usage some questions regarding the sensor-patient assignment and the manager application function remain unanswered.
